Eye-Fi Digial SD Card



I'd like to take a moment to tell you about my experience with the Eyefi Wireless SD card.  I purchased one a year ago last spring.  It took me almost 18 months to get around to using it.  I was afraid it was complicated to set up & had asked my techie husband to help me set it up.  Well, after waiting for 15 months I decided to attempt this on my own.  Once I went to Eyefi website and began investigating the set up of the card to connect with the WI-fi from my camera to download the photos directly to my laptop.  I have wanted this feature for quite some time now; especially while on vacation, or at family events when I have 100+ photos to get off my camera.

Once finding the correct link for the download of the desktop software I needed on Eyefi's website, it was a breeze to set up.  Why do I wait so long to get "aroundtuit"?  It was so simple even for a novice to set up.  I love that I can come back from my events, set my camera on the table near my laptop, turn on both my camera & laptop and Viola!  The photos are transferring to my laptop in their own file.  There is also cloud storage through Eyefi available, however I do not use that feature as I have another back-up source.

If you're looking for something for that Photog that seems to have it all this just may be the perfect answer.  There are several options.  I chose to get the 32GB mobi card +WiFi due to the volume of photos I take and not always being able to clear my card while on vacation.  To compare the different cards this page is very useful Eyefi Products

I am just sorry that I waited SO long to actually install the software to start using the card - it was such a simple process.  I have loved the set up ever since I started using it this past May.
